Starwarshop.com

So yes, you all know I'm a big Star Wars fan. And being a fan, I get the Star Wars emails from the Star Wars website. (yes, I'm a geek). So, when they had the link for the StarWarsShop.com, of course I had to check it out. And I saw these cool chopsticks and R2D2 glasses. Now R2 is my favorite in the movie. Well, ok, I have lots of favorites in the movie, but R2 is my favorite favorite. So these cups were too cool, and especially when they come with Lightsaber Chopsticks. How cool is that!!
Then I scroll down and see this toaster. OMG, a Star Wars toaster! And better yet, it toasts Darth Vader's helmet on your toast! That's just too cool!! Yeah yeah. I know if I ever got one, it would totally not ever be used and stay in the box, and Phil wouldn't want to have Darth Toast. LOL But it's just too cool that they're even making that stuff. Heck, it could go with our Mickey Mouse waffles. ;)
But to top it all off, is this Tauntaun Sleeping bag. Now, how wrong is that?? OMG, it's so wrong it's funny! Ok, I know all of you must have seen The Empire Strikes Back, and you know that scene where Han is trying to save Luke's life by cutting open the Tauntaun and sticking Luke in there to keep him warm while he builds a shelter for them. So you know that this is just a bit twisted. But what's funny is that inside the pattern is Tauntaun guts. And the zipper pull is a little lightsaber. ROFL!

Check out the other stuff on the site, very cool!!

Happy Star Wars Day!

Ok, how can I not post about this day. On twitter I kept seeing "Star Wars Day" on the sidebar. So of course being the Star Wars geek that I am, I had to totally check it out.

Why is it called Star Wars day? Cause of this one pun...."May the fourth be with you."

OMG, when I read that I couldn't stop cracking up. Phil just groaned. He puts up with a lot of my Star Wars craziness. LOL

So, hope you all have a Happy Star Wars day today!

The Millenium Falcon

So, while waiting for my dad at the VA hospital, I read The Millenium Falcon. It's new Star Wars book. And I loved it. I now have to go back and read the books that I'm missing in between the last one I read in the Star Wars Universe.

I love the fact that Han, Leia, and their granddaughter are researching the history of the Millenium Falcon. And I also love how they incorporate different characters from all the movies and books into this one.

It's fun reading the stories of the previous owners of the Falcon, and just how special she is to each person. She is a very special ship, and has always been my favorite in the series. I don't know why, but whenever you see her on screen or read about her in other books, you just wish you were on her with the characters. And you tend to care about her too. Well, I do anyway. LOL

If you love the Star Wars Universe, this is a must read. :)

Quiet day...

I'm enjoying a quiet day at home. Although I did have to go to the library. I finished Chopping Spree today. And since I was reminded that Monday is a Holiday, I thought I'd trek on out to the library for the last book in the series...Dark Tort.

I was able to find that one, plus they had the new Star Wars book: The Millenium Falcon. I was excited because I just saw the book in Borders a few weeks ago. And eventhough I haven't caught up to all the books in between that one and the one that I last read, I thought I'd better borrow it. LOL The Millenium Falcon is my favorite Star Wars ship of them all, so I think I'm really going to like this one. I still have to catch up with the books in between. Am not looking forward to reading the book where Chewbacca dies. I even forget which one that is, but I'm not going to like reading that one. I can tell already. ;)

I'm going to arrange things around the house, finish up a few sewing projects, and hopefully start up some new ones.

It's still gorgeous outside. At the library they were making bird feeders out of pine cones and peanut butter. How fun is that? I think I'm gonna find some peanut butter and bird seed....

Have a great Saturday!

Star Wars...Retold by someone who hasn't seen it.

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

I just had to giggle when I saw this video. It reminds me of a time a few years ago when Ngoc and I were talking about Star Wars. She had just seen it on DVD, and I had to explain to her some of the things that happened cause she didn't get it. LOL The conversation wasn't exactly like that one above, but it was similar. LOL

Enjoy!

Dancing with the Star Wars Stars...

OMG, this is too funny! It takes my two favorite things and puts them together....Dancing with the Stars and Star Wars!

Thanks Otto!

R2-D2 Cake

Ok, so it's not really R2-D2 because as we all know R2 is really blue, not red. LOL But A very nice R2 unit cake! But you can see the real R2-D2 cake here: http://www.markjosephcakes.com/

This site here posted the making of the R2 cake:

So, how cool would that be to have an R2D2 cake?? Yes, I'm a BIG time Star Wars fan here, and I've been in LOVE with R2 since my cousin Tina gave me my first R2D2 plushie way back in 1977. I still have that plushie. :)

Will have to have one of these for when I turn 50!! LOL

Happy 30th Anniversary!

OMG, Hope that everyone is enjoying the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars!! Can you imagine, it's been 30 years?? I have a hard time believing it's been that long. Went first thing this morning to get my Star Wars Stamps!! YEE HAW! LOL

I still can remember going to see it with my church group the summer before 8th grade. I went into it thinking, OMG, they're making me go see a sci-fi movie. Who would have thought that moment in time would have started my love for all things Star Wars! From the first moment that the Blockade Runner flew across the screen, I was hooked!

I mean it changed special effects as we knew it then. Now that stuff is just the norm. But back then it was amazing to see a space ship fly across the screen with no wires! I mean remember all those Buck Rogers movies?? LOL And the aliens were so believeable! I can remember seeing A New Hope, or as we knew it then, Episode 4, and thinking...WOW!

And Yes, I'm the total geek girl! My older sister still calls me when they have a star wars question. Really. It's too funny. "In the movie..." And then she'll hear, "Well, in the movies and the books..." It's pretty scary sometimes.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the anniversary!!
